Middle Earth Style Map Icons For Worldographer

As many of you know, each month we do a set of 100+ new map icons through our Patreon.  These are made for use with Worldographer, but any program that can use PNGs should be able to use the map symbols.

This month will be a bit different–usually we divide the 100+ icons into 4 subsets (battlemat, city/village icons, world/kingdom classic, & world/kingdom isometric)–but this month we’re doing just one big set of all new icons for world/kingdom maps that will be in a “Middle Earth” style.  You can see a video of us making a small map in about 20 minutes (it would be less/faster, if you consider we’re explaining as we go) via this link.

More details below the image.

  • A coastline generator/wizard that will use these icons (if installed) will be in v1.61 of Worldographer.
  • There will over 100 terrain types; several for each of: mountains, hills, deserts, dunes, marshes, swamps, deciduous forests, evergreen forests, tropical forests, and more.
  • There will also be 50+ individual “feature” icons: individual trees, hills, mountains, etc. as well as small clusters of each. Use these to fill in a few extra map features to add variety.
  • There will be 25 coastlines, plus several river mouths, a few river origins, several river sections, and a few lakes.
